SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Groundhog: When the American people see the Nunes Memo they're gonna see how corrupt and politicized the top leaders of the F.B.I. have been! Shadow: Except the memo is bullshit. It's completely uncorroborated and in the few places where it refers to publicly available facts it gets them wrong. Groundhog: Citizens deserve the truth! Let's get it all out there! Shadow: The G.O.P. is fully engaged in obstruction and obfuscation, releasing cherrypicked facts and a false narrative knowing their lies can't be unmasked without access to classified information. Groundhog: Trump supporters work backwards from conclusions to facts, so we're getting what we want anyhow. Shadow: Everyone sees the shadow but no one seems to be doing anything about it. This is gonna be a long winter.

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

We're talking about the stupid fucking Nunes memo so it worked: We're talking about the chaff and we're going to get hit by the missile. It's clear the memo is bullshit (even RedState's figured it out) but it's not even intended in good faith; it's intended to excite the assholes who already "know" Trump is being "undermined" by forces within the government supposedly loyal to the Communist Cerebrus that is Soros-Obama-Hillary (presumably Bill's the dog's dick). I won't link to the usual right-wing sources but you can find them if you want. Or you can check in on Twitter and see what the MAGA fuckwits are repeating.

What's really great about this is having Republicans rewrite the rules of government on the fly to allow them to do whatever they wanted to do anyway while Democrats keep following all the ponderous laws, rules, norms, and other bullshit, as if somehow by keeping up appearances they'll win some fantastic victory in the end. I'm not saying I want anyone hurt but when you're standing around saying, "We can't disprove anyone's lies because that's classified," what we need is someone willing to say FUCK IT and release the truth. Because at this rate there won't be anything left to protect.
